Quotes from This Episode by Camaron Brooks:
- “My identity as a person really kind of exploded when I became a mom, and I didn’t know who I was and I think that’s because I had a false sense of identity based on career and a lot of other things. But motherhood kind of cracked that all open. We all go through that.”
- “Connection is why we’re here.”
- “Everything in life is a practice, there’s no finish line…”
- “How am I treating my body? How am I taking care of myself?”
- “I see aging as a beautiful process…”
